Thanks to Equanimity, an app on my phone, I’m able to easily track my sitting time. So far, I’ve spent almost 8 hours sitting in silent meditation in the past 4 days. It’s been frustrating, distracting, painful, and challenging as well as rejuvenating, calming, and insightful. It’s amazing how easy it is and, yet, it’s one of the most challenging things for me to do.

Fortunately, our landlord agreed to transform one of our rooms into a practice space with an amazing oak floor! A perfect place to meditate..
